Julian Assange And CounterPunch This Weekend

John Pilger and Jonathan Cook.  Kudos for the CP folks for staying on this for our exceptional American edification.  The Assange case is a tremendous shit show, and the historical reckoning is going to be fucking ugly as hell.  Except for Ecuador.  Ecuador is going to look brilliant in all this.  I can't help but believe a bigger, higher-profile nation would have been in deep shit after the courage Ecuador has shown, but Ecuador is just too small and nimble to be easily fucked with by clumsy brutes like the exceptional U.S.A.
